Curious Crew Zayppy Adventures Ltd. ("we", "our", or "us", Company No. NZBN 9429051834921) operates curiouscrewzayppy.homes. This Cookie Policy explains how and why cookies, pixels, local storage objects, and similar tracking technologies are stored on your device when accessing our digital expedition resources, trail elevation tools, and interactive planners.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are compact alphanumeric text files placed in your browser's local directory by a web server. They allow our website to recognize your terminal equipment, maintain session continuity, remember filter settings on the Trip Planner, and evaluate aggregate performance metrics without identifying individual users.
3. Categories of Cookies We Deploy

These cookies are vital for the core navigation and security of our web applications. Without these tokens, safety checklists, form submissions, and consent mechanisms cannot function correctly.
Preference & Planner Cookies
When you interact with our Interactive Expedition Blueprint Engine on plan-trip.html, locally stored state keys preserve your selected island regions, duration chips, and vehicle preferences, enabling seamless navigation between guides without losing draft blueprints.
Analytics & Performance Telemetry
We employ privacy-focused telemetry to understand which trail itineraries receive the highest interest, identifying broken links or high-latency assets in remote field locations. All IP addresses processed for analytics are masked before long-term storage.

- Interactive Banner: Selecting "Accept All" or "Essential Only" via the persistent consent banner displayed upon initial visit.
